I installed on an AIX with the stable-snapshot.tar.gz dowmloaded from Ruby Homepage.

I observed the message compiling tcltklib, tcl, tk. Following are the first few lines of the Makefile. It still refers to LDSHARED = /usr/ccs/bin/ld, I wonder if the load failed had something to do with this.

I installed the same on Linux as root without any trouble.

prefix = /users/dnguyen
CFLAGS = -g -O2
CPPFLAGS = -I. -I$(srcdir) -I${prefix}/include
LDFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) -brtl
XLDFLAGS = -Wl,-bE:ruby.imp
EXTLIBS =
LIBS = -ldl -lm $(EXTLIBS)
MISSING = flock.o isinf.o
LDSHARED = /usr/ccs/bin/ld
